WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s goal of 1 million electric cars on the road within the next four years is achievable, according to an administration report to be released today, contradicting a finding last week from an industry panel.
The administration report finds that automakers are prepared to produce 1.2 million plug-in electric vehicles by 2015.
By contrast, a panel of industry leaders said automakers’ production plans are “currently insufficient” to meet the president’s goal.
The opposing reports both attempted to tally electric-car production efforts but differed over how many plug-in cars General Motors will manufacture and other matters.
